Haena house description

Best place to 'Shake it off'.....Kauai. New Year 2015: My To Do- Vacation Hawaii- at the top of your bucket list? Must be on the beach, must have direct full ocean view. If you're traveling as 'one, a couple or group up to 4, this location and accommodation fit the criteria (rare to find). This property was created in the spirit of aloha, to capture the desire of sand between your toes and to fill your eyes and heart with mother natures best work, birds singing, flowers blooming, rainbows shining; a perfect space for the soul to relax and rejuvenate. This home away from home offers unobstructed ocean views from every room. If you’re seeking a retreat where you can check out of your mainstream daily grind and become one with nature; consider this remote area; yet only 3 miles from the historic quaint town of Hanalei. The property is comparable to a lake cabin on the mainland. The quaint cottage home, offers a full kitchen with dramatic ocean views; you can BBQ at home or dine locally (a short stroll in the sand) or a scenic drive town just minutes away. You will be constantly immersed in tropical splendor that only Hawaii can offer. The ocean waves are the predominant sound, lulling you to sleep. Located in a remote area of the North Shore; that is friendly to visitors. Longtime residents call a hidden jewel of the island. This North Shore location is a secret to most, but only 3 miles to Hanalei Town. Many travelers are steered to stay on the South Side; where the hotels and a plethora of tourist are! If you are a seasoned traveler and/or know you’re not a hotel person; but rather one who’s seeking a more natural experience. Roll out of bed onto the white sand beaches; strolling for miles and miles, at times not seeing another soul; scratching your head saying how can this be all for me! Our backyard is your beach - an amazingly beautiful and peaceful setting of nearly private uncrowded beaches. You can snorkel, kayak, swim, surf, boogie board, fish, walk, and hike, relax, enjoy right in your backyard. Local area amenities Horseback riding, shell hunting, wind surfing, Luaus, all nearby. Dining 5 star to family, art galleries, shopping, all nearby. The North Shore offers the best and least crowded surfing, for the experienced surfers. Most of our guests enjoy staying close to home and enjoying the ultimate Hawaiian Paradise; without loading up the car wasting precious vacation hours searching for the perfect spot. You will see not only dolphins, (during migration season) Whales breaching and so many other amazing creatures under the many rainbows; right out your window.Favorite activities include walking on the beach, fishing, Zip lining, horseback riding, and tennis, golfing, biking, and hiking the Napali Coast at the nearby “End of the Road” on the North Shore Road. Only 3 scenic miles to the infamous town of Hanalei. You can enjoy a BBQ in the front yard as the sunsets dazzle you and the cool ocean breezes gently caress you. Isn't this what a tropical paradise is supposed to be? Or if you want to leave the cooking and dishes to someone else; take a stroll over to the Mediterranean Gourmet (lunch or dinner). Conveniently close, serving delicious authentic Mediterranean food, full bar and entertainment. If you want to experience the quaint night life head into Hanalei town where you will find many choices for dining from $-$$$$ something for every appetite and budget. The Kauai Love Shack is situated on the ocean, with unobstructed ocean views. Come stay where the people come to get away from the crowds. Upon securing your reservation we will prepare your personalized Final Instructions to include our local area favorites and secrets!During the summer months the ocean is general gentle and warm on the North Shore. During the winter months higher surf can roll in, and direct access may become less desirable. The high surf makes for great photo opportunities especially at the End of the Road and several other overlook points. Local respect is a must, at times you may see a Hawaiian custom in front, families fishing. Hawaiian families come to this location for special fish (once or twice a year), they will not disturb you, they are friendly and maybe they will share some fresh fish!Our Hale is 3 miles from Hanalei, a historic quaint surf town with great shaved ice, shopping, the famous Hanalei Pier great for all water activities to include fishing, swimming and Paddle boarding and last but not least world class surf spot.
